But this Thursday — Thanksgiving Day—sbo ba 1 started to fill tbe bag with fresh bops, an I ba 1 felt tbe hard substance again, au l thought, while tbe bag was nearly empty she would empty it entirely, and shake it out. And when she shook it, down among tbe chips in tbe wootlhons# rolled thus old gold thimble. It bad been fifteen years in the bottom of that bop bag. She bad dropped it in there that day before Thanksgiving, when sbo bad finished sewing buttons on Chris’s jacket, and bad gone to get hops for her bread.” “ What did Chris do?” said I. “ Chris!

A Distinctively American Bid. So distinctively American i the turkey that Benjamin Franklb ro- gretted that it was not adopted astho National emblem. Ho wrote : “ F or my own part, I wish the Bad Eagle had nat been chosen as tho rej. resentative of o u r couutry ; he is a bir of ba I moral character ; he docs uoi get his living houestly. * • • With all his injustice he is nevor in good case, but, liko thoso among ujen who live by sharping aud robbing, ho is generally poor, aud often very lousy. Besides, he is u rauk coward. * * * I am, ou this account, not displeased that tho figure is not kuowu as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a turkey. For, in truth, tho turkey is, iu comparison a much more ro- spoctablo bird, and withal a true have boon found in all countries, but tho Turkey was peculiar to our.*. Ho i«, besides\ tho a little vain and silly, ’tis true, but none the worse emblem for that), a bir 1 of courage, aud would uot hesitate to attack ft grenadier of the British Guards, who should pre sume to invAde his farmyard with a red coat on.” All this relates to the turkey of our grandfathers, bnt it is the same a* the turkey of the present day. It is one of the most cosmopolitan of fowls, and has accommodated itself to all cli mates, soils and food, until now there is hardly a corner of the earth where turkeys are not raised. Epicures, however, have generally pronounced iu favor of tho superiority of the American bred bird, bnt beyond that hardly any two agree. In the North and East it is iusistel that the true flavor of the turkey is only to be had after he ha* gorged himself with chestnuts; in Virginia it is thought ho shou\d eat a few of tho wild persim mons to be p e rfect; in South Caroliua turkeys fed on raw rice are vaunted as superior to all others; and iu Lou isiana aud the neighboring States pe can-fed turkeys are regarded as peer less. May the reader have whichever he like* best for his Thanksgiving dinner ! A Thaukftiiivhitr Game. The game proceeds after this fashion: A map is held by the judge, usually a growu person, or an older child ; theu, two children are chosen nu l placed in separate corners.\ Says the judge: *,Now, Carric, you represent New York in that corner, and Richard, yon are iu Moscow, im prisouod; you want to get away and reach home by Thanksgiving Day. You have got from bchiud the walls— but what is your directest route home?” Then R iclur 1 ha* to tell each sea, country au I ocean ho crosses to get home for the turkey au I cranberry sauce. Ifh e c a u ’t d o it successfully, he must remaiu right on the spot on the floor where he stopped until he think* out hi* escape.

Millet grows well in dry, sa.v* ‘1° n ot plant hot localities, and wheat grain, • ground, for the cows, will make uu ex cellent addition to these fodders, with J sugar beets or mangels. Thus, there will be l ■» scarcity of crops to take tho place of wheat.

New milk will fatten a colt faster than skimmed milk. Fertilizer can be profitably applied with or without m anure,an I will more than pay for thoir cost. A colt should havo plenty of out- r x m l r i IU' develop his limbs in proportion to tho body. Tn keeping down tho expenses do not do it by denying wife needed help in tiio house. Thut is tho poorest economy. Cure should be taken r o t to cloy the appetite of a colt, and when there is auy symptoms of that the feed should be cut down at once. C'olts that are to bo kept at tho stable and worked as ycarliugs can be fed much higher than those which are to he turned out to pasture aud shift lor themselves.

At Kotno points, perhaps only a wheelbarrow load or twq may bo needed, while at others several wigou loads may be required. For the ben efit of the foundation walls, tbo grade should be at least three inches to the foot for at least live or six feet, espe cially if there is a collar losated under the structure. It not only looks bet ter, but makes the cellar walls firmer, preveuts water from soaking iuto the cellar, and renders it warmer in wiu- ter and cooler iu summer.
